2 cl cane sugar syrup (simple syrup will work too)
3 cl fresh lime juice
7 leaves fresh sage
bruise it
add
4 cl glenfiddich 12 years old (perhaps another whiskey which isn’t too peaty is also good, but you must use what you have)
2 cl Drambuie
Shake hard with ice
fine strain into tumbler with large ice cubes
3-4 dashes of TBT orange flower water
one sprig of sage as garnish, no straws
The Name: “The Sage Scotsman”
ENJOY!

here is another nice rye sour variation:

2oz Rye (Rittenhouse)
.5 oz St. Germain
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz simple syrup
1 egg white (use the whole thing for this drink)
Many dashes of your favorite bitters (I tend to use angostura and Regan’s orange)

dry shake then hard shake over ice and strain – nor garnish necessary, though a cherry would work

Rick – as Gonçalo suggests Chartreuse might work, Licor 43 also springs to mind though you’d want to be careful with it. If I find anything else that works I’ll be sure to make a note of it here.

Dear Rick, I guess, there is no substitute (what an ugly word) for Bènèdictine. Alterantive compusures might work with Chartreuse, Strega or quality Absinthe.

What other liqueurs do you think you could sub for the Benedictine? I bet a few others would make for interesting drinks!
